How do we remember the wars of the past, how does it shape our present?

An evening for discussion and reflection hosted by and friends from

With songs and music from and about the World Wars, and a space to encourage discussion about what remembrance means today, in a world where war goes on and the past is increasingly politically disputed.

Feel free to bring contributions of your own - songs poems, stories or discussion topics are all welcome.

If you are able to pay, we will be welcoming donations of £5 to By Our Hands We Make Our Way, and funds raised beyond the venue hire to go to refugee support charities.

About the luddite session
7.00pm-10.45pm July 13th

Looking to get into folk and traditional music? So we're we and sometimes it can be hard to know where to start.

Thats why we started the luddite session - to help people learn more folk music and how to engage with sessions, singarounds and more.

In particular, I was really important to us to make a space where more young people make folk music, giving new audiences a route into the local folk scene.

See you at the next session!
At the , 7PM onwards

Forgot to add it, but song of the week is Wild Mountain Thyme!

Next session!!

We have a chance of venue this fortnight, visiting the lovely people at in Sneinton Market, home of the amazing Alboe open mic.

Start time is 7.30 (but most of the sessioners rock up late anyway, so don't worry about it)

The venue is BYOB and donations to the running of this incredible community space are massively recommended!

Song of the week is Thousands or More - see you all there for tunes and songs!!
